FORWARD FOCUS

Quality craftsmanship, classic design, timeless details...REIMAGINED. This season, our Jonathan Charles offerings are taking a bold step forward with new introductions that will capture the imagination like never before.

Inspired by the classical designs that represent our heritage, our new introductions are revitalized in exciting new ways that reflect the modern aesthetic.

“What might

have happened when

the cow jumped over the

moon? The human brain typically

utilizes a single neural network at any

given time—the default network which

allows our mind to wander, or the control network which helps us focus on a task.

Neuroscientists studying creativity have found that, unlike other types of brain activity, creative thinking activates both of these networks at once.”

1. BIEDERMEIER BREAKFAST TABLE High contrast black and ivory in a sleek lacquered finish is the perfect complement to bold transitional design styles.

2. BOMBÉ CHEST Textured textile fronts and luxe hardware add a little glam to the set of classic curves seen in this chest.

BOLD GLAMOUR Paying homage to a history of artful furniture making, the Jonathan Charles Reimagined portfolio offers a suite of signature pieces thoughtfully reimagined with a contemporary aesthetic. Piano black lacquers, tailored forms, natural oak and linen coverings deliver a versatile blend of elegance and innovation to fine furniture impeccably crafted with age-old techniques.

BEHIND THE DESIGN

NATURE’S ARTISTRY Rich with artful visual touches, the stirring Jonathan Charles Water portfolio is flawlessly crafted and imbued with the luxurious textures of natural woven grasscloth, soft cream leathers, bone inlay and Koto veneers.

This eclectic mix of materials, paired with sinuous and flowing architectural features reminiscent of waves, is a showcase of delightful dynamism with contrasting line and form. An exquisite appointment package of hand-cast custom hardware accentuates this exceptional furniture portfolio.

RURAL REMIX Welcome to farmhouse living, complete with all the finer things in life. Timeless design always begins with a connection to history, bridging the gap from the pastoral past to the present with a streamlined modern aesthetic that’s anything but rustic. Nature's palette paints this look in hues of the outdoors, with shades of unbleached linen, sky blue, petal pink and fields of green. Light woods and neutral upholstery keep this style modern and fresh rather than heavy and antique. Traditional details such as turned wood, scrolled arches and paneling abound, and accents of floral and stripe patterns feel fresh from the farm. Escape to a simpler life without sacrificing luxury with this upscale country chic style that embodies cozy elegance.

A classic striped fabric evokes farmhouse feelings, while turned wood legs and graceful rolled arms elevate this style from humble to refined CINDY 98” SOFA Rowe Furniture (Robin Bruce)

SOFT AND SOPHISTICATED

Modern life can be challenging, so let's keep things simple. Comfort is key and layering is everything in this soft, cushioned approach to design. After creating a strong backdrop with architectural details and wellcurated arrangements, layering textures adds the essential spark of life to a space. Beautifully upholstered furnishings, throws, pillows, rugs and poufs invite human touch and suggest relaxation, highlighting the many ways a space will be used in day-to-day life. Textiles are made to be touched, so choosing the finest fabrics is a necessity—and a creative way to reinforce the palette of a space by layering in colors. Homes that prioritize elements of softness and reassurance make for welcoming and cozy living spaces.

STYLE MEETS STRATEGY

This space is...

Bold, tropical, layered.

This project features...

Brekke Credenza "This piece was special because it incorporated a natural element to the space that had a fun pattern play with the detail of a geometric wood inlay. The wood nodded back to the traditional handmade wood furniture you’d find throughout the Caribbean. The simple brass base detail refined this piece and allowed it to fall onto the more modern side of design.

It's a great blend of traditional-meets-modern which will always allow for the piece to remain timeless over the years to come."

Style Meets Strategy was created in 2018 by Ashley Danielle Hunte. Style Meets Strategy is built on the purpose of beautiful intentional living and artful spaces. They believe that a well‑designed space brings order, beauty, and lasting memories. Their commitment is to design spaces that are a genuine reflection of their clients along with curating unique stories within their homes.

52 MADELINE SOFA Rowe Furniture

SERENE SIMPLICITY Contemporary doesn't have to mean cold. Welcome to the new minimalism—warm, uncluttered, and utterly welcoming. Celebrating the soothing power of shades of white and airy neutrals, this clean and curated style is accented by hints of light wood, glass, and warm metallic accents. Simple lines and soft curves draw the eye to notice the subtle, beautiful details in a space that may otherwise have been overlooked: a luxurious woven textile, finely crafted joinery, a perfectly upholstered corner. Take a deep breath and experience a sense of respite from modern living in a style that's custom made for rest and relaxation.
